According to GMA News, the required angle should be at 4.8 degrees. However, an inclinometer found that the angle of the ramp at one pint was at 14.15 degrees. The MMDA has already released a statement, admitting taht while it may not be perfect, it could still be very useful for PWDs, pregnant women and senior citizens.

Meanwhile, the news updates about the Philippine Senate's investigation on POGO facilities continue to be viral. Recently, a Malaysian who was rescued by authorities from the raided Bamban POGO hub made a revelation. In ABS-CBN's report, the Malaysian stated that he was sold by a Chinese to the Bamban POGO hub. The price for "selling" him was allegedly P300K. He also added that his friend invited him to celebrate Chinese New Year, but eventually left him at Baofu Land in Bamban to pay off the cost of buying him.
